the 'upper control arm' is more correctly called the tension rod
and yes it's 'upper'

Rear is Multi-Link... so the conversion consists of 1 lower control arm, guide rod, and upper link. You can also do the sway bar and an adjustable toe control arm.

It's important to note that the rear conversion requires the type of shock that will connect to the lower control arm. This is much different that stock.
correction, it consists of the lower control arms (2), headlight rod, and tension rods (2)

can you provide more links/pics to the rear conversion? i'm assuming it also requires some pretty hefty modification?

ED: ok so "rear camber links" are the offending part, and installing these lets you run ACTUAL M3 coilovers/shock/spring combos? even for the front (which i'm guessing match up exactly like stock?)
